If you decide to keep the base on the motor housing, unlock the plunge lock lever or the motor housing clamp so that the base slides out enough to get a wrench on the nut and collet. Locate the spindle lock lever or button. Pressing this button will lock the spindle in place so that you can loosen the nut that tightens the collet around the router bit using your wrench. Some routers may not have a spindle lock and require one open-end wrench to hold the spindle while loosening the nut with a second.
You do not need to remove the nut and collet from the spindle unless the replacement router bit has a different shaft diameter and requires a matching collet. To change the collet, unscrew the nut and collet and remove it from the spindle. Push out the collet from the nut and press in the new collet until it snaps in place.
Screw the nut and collet onto the spindle, but keep it loose enough to insert the replacement router bit. Before installing the router bit, be sure to inspect and remove any debris from the collet with high-pressure air.
The collet works by compressing around the shaft of the router bit and debris can get in the way when tightening the nut. With the nut and collet screwed on to the spindle, insert the router bit all the way into the collet until it stops.
If the router bit cannot be inserted, loosen the nut until it slides into place. Make sure the base is fully extended and set at zero depth of cut. Using a rabbeting bit is one of the easiest ways to cut a rabbet. You will see rabbet joints most often when building drawers for cabinets, installing cabinet backs or joining cabinet sides to the cabinet top.
The Core Box Bit is one of the non-piloted router bits that are good for cutting round-bottomed grooves. Commonly used for routing flutes in vertical stiles and columns, this bit is handy when carving wood platters and plates or routing a decorative groove in a door panel. This bit can cut a decorative V-shaped groove in wall paneling, table legs, drawer faces, and cabinet doors. High-quality router bits have carbide cutters that have been sharpened to a fine edge and that are thick enough to allow for multiple regrindings.
The brazing that joins the carbide tip to the bit will appear even. And high-quality bits will incorporate a design that minimizes the risk of workpiece kickback. These anti-kickback bits have more body mass, and their enlarged bodies prevent the bits from biting too deeply and catching on the material.
The greater body mass also helps to dissipate heat and keep the bits sharp longer. Price can be an indicator of quality. The old saw applies: In general, you get what you pay for. Here at Rockler, we offer our own line of router bits designed for the serious woodworker. Rockler bits are made with high-quality ISO K10 and K20 carbide and are sharpened with diamond abrasives.
They also are precision-balanced and geometrically designed for superior chip ejection.
